INFO
Luke Slater?s Mote-Evolver label rounds off an impressive 2010 and starts 2011 by pas sing into record label maturity with a 21st release. As is fitting for such a la ndmark release, the forever-progressive Slater has plucked a special release fro m the ether that will impress and intrigue followers of Mote?s approach to under groundtechno.

Shrouded in anonymity, Shifted?s release is fuelled by a personal passion for techno, this 3-track EP for Mote-Evolver represents an ea rnest expression of creativity from an enigmatic artist; freed from the restrict ions of expectation and reputation.

Opening up with the kind of spars ely constructed but highly incendiary deepspace-techno that has characterized mu ch of Mote?s recent output, Drained is a thumping bass-driven ride through sinis ter moods and scratchy sounding effects.

Polaron brings an abrasive f eel to the release, contrasting with the deeper moods found elsewhere on the EP, as heavy beats and mechanical percussion provide momentum while resounding chim es and shrill stabs add frenetic drama.

Futuristic and hypnotic, Boun d combines the pacey dynamism of snappy rhythms with mesmerizing atmospheric loo ps which weave together to create a shifting melody; oscillating subtly against a backdrop of relentless percussion.
